Question
What are the reasons for a baby’s coughing when they wake up?
Answer
A baby’s cough upon waking up may be due to wind-cold cold. The symptoms include frequent coughing with thin, white phlegm, clear nasal discharge, pale or slightly red tongue with a thin coating, and a heavy cough sound, along with headache and fever. Treatment can involve using Sanao Decoction along with medications that reduce phlegm and resolve dampness.
